Travelling solo is one of life’s great adventures. It’s a chance to explore the world on your own terms – but that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. At Riviera Travel, we believe solo travel should feel like joining a well-travelled collective: a group of curious, kind, and like-minded travellers who are looking to explore the world too. Whether you’re a seasoned solo traveller or looking for tips for first-time solo travellers, this guide is for you. Top tips for travelling solo
Travel with confidence “Solo travel can be extremely powerful – our guests get to see the world, have new experiences, make new friends and develop a new sense of confidence and independence.” – Linda Harris, Solo Travel Specialist One of the most important tips for first-time solo travellers is to be sure you choose a travel company that truly understands solo travel. At Riviera, we’ve been curating solo holidays for years – and we’ve learned that confidence comes from knowing you are in safe hands. From our handpicked Cruise Directors and thoughtfully designed itineraries, everything we do is built around making solo travel feel seamless, sociable and secure. Before you book, take a moment to read reviews from fellow solo travellers. Look for stories that reflect your hopes – whether that’s making new friends, feeling safe abroad, enjoying authentic travel experiences, or simply having a brilliant time. (Spoiler: Riviera guests tend to say all four.) With thousands of five-star reviews, you can trust that you’re joining experts in travel who know how to look after their own.
Break the ice early and embrace the social side “Even when meals aren’t included, people naturally dine together. It’s a great way to share stories and laughter.” – Linda Harris You’re not in it alone, on a Riviera solo-exclusive holiday; everyone is in the same boat (quite literally, if you’re on a river or yacht cruise). Say hello, ask questions, and be open to conversation. You’re surrounded by people who chose this experience for the same reasons you did – curiosity, connection, and a love of travel. From the very first evening, you’ll be invited to a welcome dinner and drink – a relaxed, friendly way to meet your fellow explorers with your experienced Tour Manager or Cruise Director on hand to make introductions. It’s the perfect setting to share stories, laugh over travel plans, and start forming connections that often last far beyond the holiday. In fact, we’ve heard countless stories of guests who met on a solo holiday and went on to become lifelong friends – meeting up back in the UK, or even planning their next Riviera adventure together.
